Stop Press: The four bands of the Big Slouch are on hold for several months as the Captain recovers from several bouts of major surgery. We are using the break to write more music, rehearse and promote the work we will be doing September onwards. Please don’t go away as we will be back! We will play the odd low-key gig to keep things ticking over so watch this site! Thanks for all your support – it means a lot to us!

Hi Everyone

We have had a slow start due to Steve and Mitch being unwell but they are on the mend. Our Joytown Gypsies persona rocked the Roath Park Hotel on Friday 24th Feb. Thanks to all who came!

Funhouse is at the Packet 9pm Friday 3rd March

Funhouse

This year saw Funhouse fully expand into the BIG SLOUCH COLLECTIVE and we said goodbye to a few former stalwarts as they moved on to other bands. Because we play original music, venues either expect us to play for free or tell us that they now only book covers bands or tribute bands. Sod that!

We believe in ORIGINAL music and as all of us write so much music in so many styles, we have created the Goodfellas (Jazz), The Bon Viveurs (contemporary), the Joytown Gypsies (cajun and world musics) as well as the ONLY original SKA band in Wales – the mighty FUNHOUSE!!!

If you want to book us this is what you’ll get: Live at Cathays Social

The Pacemaker is also composing hundreds of Techno tracks as DasHabit

The Captain is recording his 8th solo album so check out The Captain

T-Bone Ger composes dozens of amazing songs such as Pontcanna Polka

The Councillor has written five albums of songs such as Shallow Man

So Watch out for our solo sets at our Song Swapper Sessions!

Have a great 2017! FUNHOUSE
